Excellent Iron
Russell Hobbs 22860 Colour Control Pro Steam Iron
Reviewed by Offertonhatter on Argos
Our previous iron decided to fall apart after several years of use, so a new one was needed. This was the one that we chose and we are glad we had. The cord is plenty long enough during use, some can be too short, but this one is fine. We like the coloured lights which match the heat setting required, so a quick glance at the light tells you, rather the fiddling with a control dial which is always under the handle, so not as easy to access. Good idea. Smooth plate and efficient steaming too.
Dissapointing

After reading so many good reviews I thought I'd got a bargain with this iron. Was disappointed to learn that steam is not available on the first two heat settings and it didn't iron as good as my previous iron. After a couple of uses the water spray decided not to work and water started pouring out of the hotplate. Packed it up and returned for a refund.

This iron is a medium weight appliance with a nice ergonomic handle. The long cord makes it easier to use on a large ironing board. The steam function is excellent with 4 settings or steam off altogether making it ideal for any fabric. This is, in my opinion, the best iron I've used from this manufacturer
Fancy looking iron that's pretty rubbish.

Even with the minimal amount of water in it the iron leaks when stood upright. Over designed with an annoying sound when you turn it on and it takes some time to learn which colour light means what. On its lowest setting you could iron a shirt while wearing it. Not entirely sure why an iron has a temperature setting that could be used to cool a baby's milk!
Look slick works just as well!

Price is very good The iron it's self is probably the best corded iron I've used for functionality, quality and ease of use, heats up quick to a good heat too, very good steam and the control makes it very easy to use with peace of mind whereas the old dial method I used to get a little worried is it too hot... So I'd spend more time adjusting the heat setting bit by bit after burning a few items of course lol...

Simply genius

Reviewed by Icequeen6001 on Argos
Whomever came up with this design is a genius. This iron is a dream to use.! The colour control makes ironing enjoyable ( i really found it a bore previously). The box comes with the colour settings on the side and clearly labelled on the iron too making it very simple and self explanatory to use. This iron glides over clothing well. I have had it now a couple of weeks and can say it's a great purchase and has cut ironing time by over half.

This iron works satisfactorily . Its operation is not as straightforward as expected but I feel I shall get used to its operation after a short time. The lack of a knob to adjust the temp makes adjustment a little uncertain but the switch that is provided works satisfactorily and the colour signals indicate the temperature well. I just prefer a rotary knob adjustment. It has some good features in the shot of steam and water spray.
Colours are not clear

Reviewed by Nameless on Argos
I bought this iron because it had good reviews. But I couldn't easily distinguish some of the colours, and there are no 'dots' to show which colour is hot/warm/cool, so I couldn't tell how how hot the iron was. I returned it and bought a different iron.
The iron is lightweight and hears quickly

Reviewed by Legs on Argos
I am pleased with my new iron, it heats up quickly, the amount of steam is good and the cord length is good. However the heat setting is a little frustrating. You have to reset the heat setting each time you turn it on and the different coloured codes are a little bit more confusing than the conventional dial setting. It’s not a major problem but the red and orange colours are similar so I’m never to sure which setting I’m on. Overall I am pleased
So good I bought another as a spare

Bought this iron for my son whilst on holiday, and tried it out to make sure it worked. So good that I immediately got another one for me as well. Son is now finding ironing so much easier, the colour coded heat button simple to work and iron gets to a good temperature. Really long cord on it as well. Glides easily over the clothes. Supposed to turn itself off if left on unused for any length of time , and also turn itself off if it falls over . I would certainly recommend!
Works well.

Great iron. Lighter than my previous one that only lasted 7 months. Let’s hope this lasts longer. The colour coded heat settings are great (but I keep forgetting to set it when I switch the iron on, do then have to wait for it to heat up again once I’ve realised!! ) Better than my old iron as I kept touching the dial whilst using and it would alter the temperature by accident- this is much more efficient. Great design and reasonably priced. Happy so far!
This Iron is great for creases in sheets

Reviewed by Fouette on Argos
Great purchase! I did my homework to find out the different brand ratings and this popped up. It is especially good at removing creases from sheets and Duvet covers. It comes with easy instructions, its light and has an automatic turn off for safety and comes with a reasonable price tag - a very happy customer.
Easy to use steam settings for crease free ironing

Reviewed by Lisa on Argos
A good iron with easy to use colour coded steam settings for crease free ironing. I am staying at my mums at the moment and bought the iron for us both to use. My mum is a pensioner and finds the iron quite heavy and cumbersome to use, but I find the iron easy to handle. I am particularly pleased with the steam settings, because they enable crease free results regardless of the material. The only downside for me is that I will be doing all the ironing!
Attractive iron, runs smothely

A good price but changing water temperatures with different colours I find a pain. I would much prefer to turn a dial. However I will just have to get used to it abut the process slows down ironing time

Bought as a quick replacement. Very easy to use with the lights showing the current temperature setting. It holds a lot of water so you don’t have to keep re-filling it. The cord is also longer than my previous iron which is handy too. Overall a good iron which is reasonably priced.

Reviewed by Sticks on Argos
I bought this after my previous iron wouldn't switch on. Its colour and design won me over and I wasn't disappointed with the performance. With the heat settings at the couch of a button and lights that change to the appropriate colour settings. The steam rate is adjustable and an option with an extra button for more max steam when in the max setting used for denim. It's also very light which some other products aren't. I highly recommend this product.
It works as an iron should

Reviewed by Steve on Argos
This is a fairly straight forward iron, with the benefit of using an illuminated strip to show you what setting it is on. It works fine and I don't know why anyone would want to pay more for an iron. It is reasonably heavy to press clothes without being too heavy to lift. It holds plenty of water, and performs well. Can't fault it.
Great iron

This iron has a great long lead its a good weight and the plate slides lovely it does a very good job, i have only a small complaint colours are similar in the heat range would be easier if they were different especially as older people and new to ironing could easily mix it up and use too hot a setting
Looks can be deceiving. Wouldn't recommend.

Iron is not nice to use, keeps on changing temperature as it is located on the handle. Not the best position for it.
This iron looks fab and is easy to use.

This iron is very good value. It's easy to use with a very convenient long lead. I need it to iron silk mostly and it is perfect. Its colour coded temperature guage is very useful and I like its safety features such as turning off if not used for a while. I would certainly recommend it, I have not been dissapointed, it does the job perfectly.
